Where to from here

Well, I'd like to be able to run more consistently. My form is okay, my speed is okay, but I can't maintain it over an hour. It seems to take me forever to warm up, and I find I'm not running smoothly and comfortably often until 30 minutes have passed.

My gym workouts - mostly Pump classes - have given me nice strong legs and glutes (yes - a big arse :-) with which to climb hills. Hill running is something I *can* do.

Confession time: I'm 37 years old, 170 cm (5'7") tall, and weigh 73.2kg - I'm no lightweight, as you can see.

Oh yeah, and lose 5kg.

My next big adventure is the Oceania Orienteering Carnival in NZ next month. Six days of events over a 10-day period. I've entered the "AS" class again, but after my experience at the Oz Champs, I just hope I can survive until the end.

So stay tuned, dear reader, and I shall post again next month after I get back.
